Welcome to the Barrow County Schools Media Community Wiki!

This wiki will hopefully serve as your 'home' for a myriad of purposes such as lesson plan collaboration, sharing of ideas, resources, etc. You will find the navigation for the site to the left. If the link is in dark red, then the page does not have content as of yet. I encourage you to visit often and contribute where you can. I know each of you has something wonderful to offer!

Note: If there are other topic pages that need to be added, let me know. I will add them to the site navigation. But first, each of you will need to create an account on Wikispaces if you do not already have one.

Create An Account

1. Set up your wikispaces account. If you are interested in creating your own 'wiki', then you can make one at that time by choosing a name for it. Be sure to specify that it is Private and certify that is is for education to avoid the banner ads to the right. This is not a required step though and you can always come back later to create your own once you know more about them though using this wiki.
2. Once you've created your account, come back to this page and complete the remaining steps.
3. Join this space by clicking "Join This Space" in the upper left hand corner. Please specify your first and last name and your school.
4. Go to the Media Specialists page, click "Edit this Page" in the upper right corner, and add your name and school.
